What year did you start playing poker? How did you learn to play poker?

Don t quite know the year. Maybe 09?
I just know Intellipoker was givin quite good lessons and a nice community to play and learn.

Around 2006-2007. Started playing for play money on Zynga through facebook. Had a lot of fun and started playing on pokerstars. I learned a lot from the poker school they used to run with freerolls. It's very similar to what Cards Chat has set up right now.

I have played poker when i was 15 years, but i played english poker that you had 5 cards in your hand and you could exchange until 4 of them
I played pokerstars since 3 month ago, and i learn a lot with you 30 days course.

My first contact to Poker was way back at year of 2k5 in a live home game with some friends. From 2k5 to almost this year, I just played live with friends and some Poker at virtual money on wsop.com, Zynga and others App.

The online poker with real money and proper poker room came to my life this year with the pandemic. It has been great so far, I have been able to get a extra to complement my salary. Also, I just started to study Poker aspects and strategic more deeply.

I started playing poker at the age of 18 and started learning by watching championships on TV or the internet

wow. i dont even remember. maybe 2000???? more or less. frieds explained to me the rules, started playing, loved it. started to watch professionals play, and from then on practice.

1989 is the year I first learned how to play poker. I learned from my dad and uncle playing 5 card draw for pennies. I quickly learned that I was a natural.

I started playing in the early years of high school with friends !!!
After a few years working with a friend who is a cashier for a Latin American website, I discovered online poker! :date: ... It was love at first sight ... it's been 3 years and counting of this beautiful relationship :drunken_s:drunken_s:drunken_s

I started playing in March 2004 when visiting my parents in Arizona and making friends with their neighbors son who talked me into going to one of the Casino's there. When I came home I bought some books and started playing online and then later on live. Some of my highlights are winning a 120+ entry, $20 rebuy tourney while in Arizona. I did not make any re-buys, zero, nada, zilch and ended up on the final table with 2 other guys who were buddies and wanted to make a deal. I declined and went on to win the tournament. I made over $900. On July 13th 2010 while playing at Party Poker at a .25/.50 c limit table I won the bad beat jackpot with a hand of AJ off suit. I ended up with 4 Jacks while the player who beat me ended up with a straight flush in Diamonds 9-K with his QT diamond hand. Made over $75K US. Super lucky, and if I had not won that I would not have been able to afford the money to pay for the lawyers I needed to fight for shared custody of my 2 kids. So including that $75K I have made a clear profit of over $125K over 10 years of playing online and live. I haven't played much in the last 6 yrs or so as life and those lawyers have cost me a fortune thanks mostly to the mother of my 2 kids, whom I love to death (the kids that is.

i think it was around 2006 and i think i taught my self my first site was pokerstars freerolls no i play on 3 other site no poker starts

ITHINK I CAME OUT OF MY MOTHERS WOMB , WITH A DECK OF CARDS IN MY HAND SINCE MY DAD WAS A GAMBLER. I GUESS I INHERITED IT.

I started poker in 2016 but I do not play often, it is more I left it for about two years, because of work I was very far away but now I returned with strength and desire, achieving regular victories

I playd in colege for the first time in 2004

What heights have you achieved during this time that you met and learned how to play poker?
I will begin.
Poker taught me to play my own father back in 2009.
Poker is such a difficult game that I played it all the time in a minus and only since 2018 I started making poker, at least some money.
I play poker and try to beat the microlimits since 2018, since October I have been playing stably plus.

I started playing in November 2011, I enrolled in the PokeStar school, so I learned about poker and its modalities, I stayed with micro-limit tournaments and sometimes I play Cash NL2 and NL5.

I started playing poker in 2015. I learned from my nephew. Later I went to pokerschool to perfect the game. Now I'm here and I hope to learn a lot more!

I've been playing for about 6 months. A lot of my friends play either live or online and they taught me (more to have another venue for the weekly home game than anything else)

I recently moved to online and someone I played against suggested coming here as a place to learn and improve so I'm afraid no highlights to mention as yet but just concentrating on improving my game right now hopefully the success will come later

I learned to play in 2009. It was with a group of friends in college. I then learned about online poker and freerolls. After this, I really enjoyed playing.
